Yahoo News 2024 Buick Envision Priced Starting at $37,295, Gets Huge 30-Inch Screen
Buick revealed updated information about the revamped Envision SUV, which carries a starting price of $37,295.
There's a brand-new 30-inch screen unit housing gauge cluster and central infotainment duties.
Buick has also canceled its plan to include Super Cruise on the 2024 Envision, choosing to debut it at a later date instead.
Buick's all-SUV lineup has been undergoing some changes recently with the company most recently updating the 2024 Envision. We first saw the handsome redesign back in June, but the company has released new information about the revamped Envision as the SUV's summer arrival draws nearer.
As with the other recently updated Buick models, pricing is broken down into three trim levels, with the Envision ditching the old mid-level Essence in favor of a new Sport Touring trim. The barrier of entry for the Envision has risen to meet the more modern SUV, with pricing for the entry-level Preferred trim jumping $2500 to start at $37,295. The new Sport Touring trim adds 20-inch alloy wheels in place of the standard 18s and starts a further $2500 above the Preferred, ringing in at $39,795.
Upgrading to the top-trim Avenir means forking over quite a bit more dough, with the flagship model carrying a base price of $48,395. Springing for the top trim adds convenience features such as a heated steering wheel, multi-zone A/C, and standard remote engine start.
Unlike the system that debuted in the Encore GX, which pairs an 8.0-inch gauge cluster and an 11.0-inch central infotainment under one piece of glass, all Envision models have a comparatively huge, ultrawide 30-inch touchscreen display. According to Buick, the system allows owners to customize the screen to display the information they deem most important. The system uses customizable widgets to provide navigation, media, or general vehicle information. The system runs natively with Google built in, and wireless versions of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
No Super Cruise (for Now)
Unfortunately, the Envision will not come equipped with GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving assistant, as was originally planned. The brand scrapped the technology for the revamped SUV before launch. According to Buick, as timelines for the Envision shifted, so did the launch of Super Cruise–equipped Buicks. Fortunately for fans of the technology, a Buick representative confirmed to Car and Driver that the brand remains committed to adding the system to its vehicles in the future.
This is the first we've seen of the Envision's updated interior in all its glory. In addition to the new screen, the front and rear seats are redesigned, as are the dash and center console. Buick also stepped up the two-tone look for the Envision, especially with the Slate Blue wrapping around the top of the dash and front door cards.
Little has changed in the performance department, with the 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine returning as the sole mill. It pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is now standard, as Buick has dropped the previously standard front-wheel drive from the lineup.
The Envision is set to begin arriving at dealerships this summer.
